Hi- we had a roof aerial replaced about 6 months ago to allow us to receive freeview.
As far as I can make out-we have one cable coming down one side of house to bedroom, where there is a plate and then our digibox in there. Then we have another cable coming down from roof, through front room wall where we have no plate (just this length of cable)
All worked fine when just plugged into HTPC. however we just bought a LCD with built in freeview and want to be able to have aerial into that, and into HTPC.
We have tried a one for all 4 way splitter/amplifier which reduced our available channels on htpc from 70 to 18 (when not also connected to TV) so thats going back. If we have aerial directly into TV its a good freeview picture so we have a good basic signal-I just want to know how best to connect both the TV and HTPC to the aerial for good signal quality, and if anyone can recommend something reasonably priced that works that would be great.
